In anticipation of the upcoming Tron: Legacy prequel cartoon Tron: Uprising, Disney has released the whole 30-minute first episode — “Beck’s Beginning” — online for free. The series premieres Thursday June 7 on Disney XD. Here’s a synopsis, and hat tip to Precious Roy:

Beck is a young mechanic living in Argon City, a growing metropolis in a far off corner of the grid that has just been occupied by General Tesler, a henchman of the notorious Clu. After his best friend Bodhi is ruthlessly derezzed by Clu’s army, Beck seeks justice for his lost friend and launches a crusade against the regime. His rebellion captures the attention of Tron, the greatest warrior The Grid has ever known, who sees the potential in Beck and trains him to be his successor. Labeled with the moniker of The Renegade, Beck sparks a revolution to fight for the freedom of The Grid.
